WASHINGTON – How did the Nationals react after their 14 marathon defeat at the Brewers the night before? Aligning a club record with eight homers against the Brewers on Sunday afternoon at Nationals Park, an offensive attack that led Washington to a 16-8 win in the series final.

Eight Nats starters equal the team record for most dingers in a match they set on July 27, 2017, also against Milwaukee.

"The long game of yesterday, coming back and getting the upper hand early, will show you what kind of team it really is," said Dave Martinez, Nationals coach. "They are relentless. They go out, they are ready to play. I told them early, I told them, "Hey, we jump on them early, we mark and we start right away.

• The score of the box

Six Nationals players conceded Sunday, including Juan Soto and Brian Dozier, who each hit two. Matt Adams, Victor Robles, Adam Eaton and Anthony Rendon all joined the Washington attack.

The victory marked the sixth victory in seven games for the Nationals, whose offensive has been found in a furrow these days as the weather warms in DC and more than a few batters roll. Washington has scored at least seven points in five of those seven games and double-digit in three of its last four games. This is the first time in the history of nationals (from 2005 to today) that they have scored at least 14 points in consecutive matches.

"This team is fighting," said Robles through the team's translator, Octavio Martinez. "It's all you can say is that we fight. We do not have to worry about what happened yesterday, yesterday was yesterday. We worry for today, do not worry about whether you are tired or not. We went out to the attack and we just fought.

And the offensive of the Nationals was about to score from the beginning of the match. They scored four points in the first, twice in the second and then seven in the third to put the game out of reach of the Brewers, who left the goals loaded on top of the first. The fifth, Washington had already hit seven homers. According to STATS, the only team in MLB history to have scored more runs in the first five rounds was the Nationals, who did so against Milwaukee in the July 2017 afternoon.

The home runs are above baseball and the ball is flying over the fence at a record pace, but the Nationals have a composition that can track the best baseball offenses. They launched two consecutive homestyles on Sunday, a tenth time this season, their third best National League total behind Atlanta and Los Angeles (14 each).

Trea Turner reached the goal for a 25th consecutive game, the highest of his career. Eaton hits 0.425 in his last 10 games. Rendon has been one of the best batters in baseball all year. Soto pummeled his second multihomer game of the year to bring his career total to 28 of 28. Robles is currently in the middle of a series of seven strikes in which he beats .500 (13-by-26). Dozier made four races in the high season.

"We've beaten the bats for a while," said Dave Martinez, director of the Nationals. "We get good shots, we walk. We hit the ball very well. "
